INT32 Send(const char* strCommand);
INT32 Read(LPSTR strReturn);
INT32 Query(const char* strCommand, char* strReturn);
Sample Query code:
void OnBtnQuery()
{
CString strCommand;
CString strCommunication;
char strPass[256];
char strReturn[1024];
// Command to send
GetDlgItemTextW(cntlCommand, strCommand);
strcpy_s(strPass, CStringA(strCommand).GetString());
strcpy_s(strReturn, "");
LPSTR pstrReturn = strReturn; // Response variable
// Query instrument
INT32 bSuccess = myDevice.Query(strPass, pstrReturn);
if (bSuccess)
{
strCommunication.Append(CString(strReturn));
}
else
{
strCommunication.Append(L"Attempting Read... Failed");
}
History.SetWindowTextW(strCommunication);
